Amazing

I love the size and maintenance of my apartment. In addition, this is a doorman building with lots of amenities like a patio and gym with a great staff.

Amazing

The building is extremely safe, especially for young women. The security, doorman and management are all great. The apartment is spacious and has a great view for the price. We had a couple of bug problems last year that were resolved, but that is normal in NY. Other than that, no complaints.

Great, like-new apartments with natural light

The apartments feel relatively new, even though they're somewhere around 15-20 years old. They have large windows and parque floors and have good storage and are spacious for a Manhattan apartment. The appliances are stainless steel and look new. The doormen are great, and management is responsive to service requests. The building sits right on top of a grocery store and many other amenities are in the area. The only downside is the distance from subway stops- most are a ~15 minute walk away.

Decent apartment, but very far west!

The building is pretty compact as there are only 8 floors. No doorman on the 55th Street entrance where I live but it's okay. The area is not the most well lit or safe. There are a few project housing units nearby and the neighborhood gets quite dark at times.

D'agastino and Dunkin' Donughts nearby are useful but overpriced. The new FIKA across the street is a great weekend haunt to just relax and people watch.

The apartment itself is a very typical high rise apartment - wooden floors, small bathroom (outdated fixtures), and small kitchen.

Neighbors are pretty quiet and not bothersome.

At night you'll hear the gallop of horses walking back to their station after giving Central Park tourists a ride.

The main downside is the few avenue walks to the nearest subway (and they're the longer avenues).

Overall, management is nice and decently responds well.

About Hell's Kitchen

Not just a home for learning and practicing actors, Hell's Kitchen is also loved by young professionals, performing artists, and students. A big perk of this neighborhood is the convenience - walking distance to subway and train stops, nearby grocery stores, and close to Fordham and NYU. There are m...

Hell's Kitchen Reviews

58 reviews
Hell's Kitchen is full of restaurants. It's mostly very safe, but I typically avoid the edges (near Port Authority). It's close to Times Square, but it's very easy to avoid. Hell's Kitchen is pretty central so it's easy to get all over the city, and there are a lot of transit options (especially on 8th avenue).
Hell’s Kitchen has some rough edges, but the restaurant scene is terrific and decent deals on apartments. Being so close to 9th ave rocks, and 10th ave is definitely up-and-coming. there aren’t a lot of sternies nearby (most of them are in the village) but a handful live nearby. The reasons to like HK are the neighborhood vibe, the restaurant scene, and the proximity to Central Park. Downside is mostly distance from campus, depending on how close you live to the subway.
Hell's Kitchen has lots of grocery stores, bars, and restaurants, although it lacks some of the charm of other neighborhoods. It's possible to find new apartments here that are a good value. It's a relatively lively neighborhood. My only complaint is the lack of gyms and subway stations in the neighborhood.
PROS
* Easily accessible from a majority of transit hubs.
* Tremendous investment on the part of private and public entities, so there's a lot of development and renewarl.
* Proximity to Javits Center, Penn Station, and Time Square make it heavily policed and quite safe.

CONS
* NOISE--from the Lincoln Tunnel, the Javits, the River, the tourists, but above all else the construction
* Proximity to Javits Center, Penn Station, and Time Square can suck the character out of the location. Don't move here if you're looking to easily find a neighborhood with it's own personality (your local coffee place is going to be Starbucks and your local Italian place is going to be a hike if you want anything other than Sbarro/Olive Garden).
Midtown West has a vibrant bar and restaurant scene, and most of it is just far enough away from Times Square (past 8th Ave, anyway) to not attract tourists. Hell's Kitchen, in particular, has an amazing selection of places to eat with mostly smaller restaurants and bars. For those who want mega parties, Pacha and Hudson Terrace are by the river.

Transportation, particularly up and down the West Side and to FiDi is incredibly easy, and if you live near 42nd St, almost every area is a snap to get to.
There are some good restaurants and bars, but overall it's not terribly exciting. Transit on A/C/E is pretty good, but getting to east side is difficult if you need to. Getting to west village is a breeze though.
We like the neighborhood, it is a little closer to midtown west than Hell's kitchen though. Lots of bars and good places to eat on ninth ave and only a fifteen minute walk to campus.
Pro: Great places to eat, close to multiple transit lines, and Broadway shows.

Con: Can be loud and tourist heavy during certain hours.
